What is the Official Height of a Dart Board? Complete Guide for Accurate Setup

When setting up a dartboard—whether in a bar, club, entertainment center, or home—it's essential to make sure it's the right height for everyone to play fairly and have a good time. It doesn't matter if you're using a regular bristle board or a modern electronic dart machine like the ones from WillDarts. As long as you follow the standard measurements, you'll get the same results every time and your players will have a better experience.

In this article, we'll go over the official height for mounting a dartboard, some tips for measuring, and why it's important to follow these standards.


What is the Official Height of a Dartboard?

According to the World Darts Federation (WDF) and the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), the official height of a dartboard is:

The center of the bullseye should be exactly 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm) from the floor.

This height is measured from the floor to the center (bullseye) of the dartboard.


Why is the Official Height Important?

  • Standardization: Ensures uniformity across competitions and casual play.

  • Fairness: Gives all players the same conditions for aiming and scoring.

  • Consistency: Helps players develop muscle memory and accuracy.

  • Compliance: Essential for tournament setups and certified equipment installations.


How to Measure and Mount Your Dartboard at the Correct Height

Step 1: Choose a Suitable Wall or Stand

Select a sturdy wall or dartboard stand where the board can be securely fixed.

Step 2: Measure the Height

Use a tape measure or laser measure to mark a spot on the wall exactly 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm) from the floor. This mark will be the center of your dartboard bullseye.

Step 3: Mount the Board

  • Fix the dartboard so that the bullseye aligns precisely with the height mark.

  • Ensure the board is level horizontally for accurate play.


Additional Setup Measurements

  • Throw Line (Oche) Distance: The official throwing distance is 7 feet 9.25 inches (237 cm) from the front of the dartboard (face of the board) to the throw line.

  • Throw Line Height: The throw line is usually on the floor, but if the floor is uneven, a platform may be used.


Setting Up an Electronic Dart Machine

For electronic dart machines like WillDarts’ products:

  • Most models come with adjustable stands or wall mounts to set the board at the official height.

  • Follow the user manual to adjust the height precisely.

  • Confirm the bullseye height with a tape measure to ensure tournament standards.
